This is a true Master Conga Player. My first LP was Candido. He could play so melodically, that I had to pick up a Conga and I wanted to play 1/2 of what he played.
Dig that little Manteca quote in there. I always appreciated Candido's melodic approach to conga playing. That's what distinguishes him from the rest.
candido is a genius, its performance is unmistakable, is identified with ease. even by leigos.quem was once you connect, and says: I know is beating, is the dance of black candido.na in Brazil, capoeira is that it has a song that says; if black is good, clap for ele.candido deserves because he's great.

MUITOS ESTÃO PREOCUPADOS EM ATAQUES RÁPIDOS,E COMPLICADOS GOLPES. CANDIDO É UM GENIO ,UM ATQUE SIMPLES ,QUE UM LEIGO ,INDENTIFICA COM FACILIDADE, E DIZ CONHEÇO ESTA BATIDA. É CANDIDO.
As someone who has played the congas for 50 years I can tell you that is one of the most amazing performances I have ever heard. As to the tin eared smucks who talk about the sound of the drums: this is straight ahead jazz not latin music fool! The genius in this performance is not only that it is rhythmically complex , but that he is playing melodically. If you can't hear that you should shut the fuck up!!!!
Candido is like 1000 year's old of course he doesn't play like he was young but we should pay respect to all musician's cause they gave us something to strive for.
He's old in that video...You had to catch him at his prime...look up this song Mambo king on CD..with Red Garland and hear his bongo solo....then you'll know what skill he had .......age catches up with you and your playing
The great thing about Candido is that he really has his own style, his unique way of playing and a very nice feel even without all the flashy chops and speed. He's always in the groove, and plays with a great melodic concept. Long live Candido!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i know can candido is a legend, but his playing really doesnt impress me. i dont even like the sound he gets out of the drum, they sound like hes playing cans.
@MrsRoman4eva. I watched this video and thought to myself Candido had gotten a little old by this time, but still sounds good. He was one of the first Cuban drummers who had learned how to interface well with American jazz players, Then as I scrolled down to the comments, I thought to myself, I'll bet some armchair quarterback found something wrong with this, and lo and behold, there you are, predictable.
I have to say I was offended when I first read your comment, but then I watched the video...
So, I've heard some recordings where Candido sounds incredible but yeah IMO this isn't one of them. Some of those solo spots sounded like rock and roll tom tom fills. I'm not hearing much syncopation or afro cuban flavor. I'm sure I'll get flamed for saying this about a legend, but honestly if I watched this with my eyes closed I'd probably imagine Ringo Starr giving it a go on the skins
@MrsRoman4eva If he does not impress you is probably, because you are use to see the wanna be conga players that use a non conga technique to play, and you should listen to the MELODY he plays he's one of the few conga players that plays with a musical sense. He is also 1 of the Conga Kings, along with Carlos "Patato" Valdez (RIP) and the great virtuoso Giovanny Hidalgo. The congas do not sound like cans, you probably have some cheap ass speakers in you computer they are musically tuned.
It's Jazz alright, but LATIN in capitals, the bass is playing is playing traditional tumbadora patterns, and that's a traditional 3/2 son montuno clave, played throughout. Don't know much about B. Taylor, but lovely melodies, he def, got latin chops on this one, gonna check him out thanks for educating me JV Guy!
What? White guys cant play mambo? If you want to get in to that black and white thing lets do. Sure you people started this music, but only in music you may steal from others ;) Cmon , the colour doesent count , its whats in you , what you ramain of. Bring some love , and you will get it back people :)
Candido is a musical genius, without question. I hope that he has gotten the credit of which he is so deserving, like induction into some "musical hall of fame." Originating the use of 3 Congas instead of just one, isn't a bad achievement!!!
excelente maestro,congratulation

Like Patato once said, to play congas, you must treat them like a woman. You must caress them and be gentle to get what you want out of them.
